The set of images were taken on Aug. 22nd, 2010. They were stitched on my server with 32G memory, dual quad-core Xeon processor and 6T of hard drive space. The total images are 4048 (92 x 44). The gears I used are: Canon 7D, 400mm prime lens and 2X tele-converter. It was roughly about 2 hours of shooting. I was able to stitch it in 7 days and uploaded to Gigapan for about 32 hours. This is a try run. there are more images on the way. Follow me on Twitter ( twitter.com/alf168 ) to get more updates about my panorama journey.
